By the way, Emily's eyes aren't really that far apart.

Who the hell is Jerry Hairston?

On the contrary, it seems funny to look back at some of the guys and their...lack of a baseball skill, or something weird about them and...DEMAND AN EXPLANATION.
I can't tell you how many times I'd be watching a game on tv and maybe...say Grace hits a grounder.
They cut to the first baseman catching the toss from the infielder, and often times old Mark wouldn't have made it into the picture yet.
Thus the 4 stolen bases in a season.
Or Zim going ballistic.
Or Hector Villanueva just...overmatched.
They're actually some of my favorite Cubs.
Just pokin' a little fun here.

Always have been.
I've also never not had a convertible (except for college).
I try to have the top down every chance I get - this day I even bought Kim a cool blue retro scarf to keep her hair happy.
When Dubouis hits the dinger, well, you can't yell like that without a convertible.
That was one happy drive.

I'm serious.
It's like a perfect 90 degree angle, his jaw.

When I do, I can hear the noise.
Hardball smacks human.
I wanna hurl.

And he had a smart mouth.
Nothing better than getting rid of a guy you think is a jerk number one, and number two is an active participant in helping the Cubs lose.Tim@Cubby Blue

All she was left with was a dry cone.
Had to sprint back and get another.
Interesting side note - you know that curled top of the ice cream, the very tip that the skilled ice cream pourer twists into a little loop?
That's called a "nyrtle".
I worked with a guy who did some work for Dairy Queen, and that's their sort of signature thing when they photograph their cones.
Anyway, I guess I believe him.
Why would anybody lie about a nyrtle?Tim@Cubby Blue
